• Drug information education for practicing physicians: Part II

  Mike Wokasch Pharmaceutical

  As mentioned in my previous post, the recent announcement that GlaxoSmithKline would no longer pay physicians to do educational or promotional speaking about disease and prescription drugs got me thinking about the state of physician education, especially as it pertains to drug information. We talked about eliminating the potential for drug company bias and influence on physician prescribing practice by essentially "cleansing" the drug information development process of any financial support from drug companies.

• Net neutrality: Free market will self‑regulate

  Victor Blake Communications

  A federal appeals court has made it clear that the FCC cannot regulate the carriage of traffic on the Internet for operators which the FCC itself deems are not common carriers. Of course, there is nothing preventing the FCC from declaring that Internet service providers are common carriers. If they did so, they could presumably go on to regulate carriage include not only policies (like "neutrality") but also pricing, bundling and other regulation.

• 3-D printing taking center stage in additive manufacturing

  Don Rosato Manufacturing

  Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process of joining materials to make objects from 3-D model data, usually in successive layers, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies. The parts produced can be models, prototypes, tooling components, and increasingly, series production parts. They are generated from 3-D computer-aided design (CAD) data, medical scans, or data from 3-D scanning systems. Based on thin horizontal cross sections taken from a 3-D computer model, AM systems produce plastic, metal, ceramic, or composite parts, layer upon layer.

  Jason Poquette Pharmaceutical

  We know that compliance with prescribed medication therapies is embarrassingly low. So have a heart and teach your patients how to take their prescription medication.

  There are plenty of doctors who willingly — even excitedly — take on leadership roles that land them squarely in the middle of all kinds of interesting and challenging encounters within an organization.

• 4 ways to write headlines that actually get clicked

  Emma Fitzpatrick Marketing

  The short, snappy title you type right before you post your blog, tweet or story is the reason for your downfall. Even though headlines seem like the last step in publishing, they're the most important by far. If you have a ho-hum headline, no one will click on it to discover the golden editorial waiting for them. Instead, you need to really focus on crafting headlines that inspire and intrigue your audience enough to click through.

  Marcus DeValentino Sports & Fitness

  ​If your fitness kickboxing workout is not sport-specific or is not grounded in martial arts athletic conditioning, this article just might interest you. What does cardio kickboxing have to do with mixed martial arts? We only need to look at the origins of the workout and its evolution today for the answer.
